Kind Words from Students
Hannah O.
Matric Visual Art & Design Student
"I enjoyed having Ms Gaylard as my Matric art/design teacher! Although our time together was short, Ms Gaylard was a great support and encouragement to me throughout the year, frequently keeping me accountable with time management and helping me with brainstorming. I found her assistance helpful and insightful and her company pleasant!"
William H.
Matric LO Student
"Ms Brigitta Gaylard was extremely helpful in preparing me for my Life Orientation exam. On very short notice, she equipped me with the necessary content and skills to adequately prepare for my June examination. I found her to be efficient and effective in revising the topics of Life Orientation and would highly recommend her services for other Matric LO students."
What I Teach
Visual Art & Design
From foundational techniques to matric portfolio preparation. I help students develop their artistic voice while building the technical skills examiners want to see. My matric art classes have averaged up to 91.6% — and produced students exhibited internationally.
English
Literature analysis, essay writing, creative writing, and language skills. Whether your child needs to strengthen their comprehension or wants to excel in creative writing, I bring both structure and a love of language to every session.
Life Orientation
More than a tick-box subject. I help students develop critical thinking, personal responsibility, and the soft skills that matter beyond matric — from time management to career readiness.
